Win.
Let’s have a serious dialogue/discussion about Trae and his role on this team. No gaslighting, no gatekeeping, no talk of being a “fake fan.” Just pure discussion.
I’ll start: I don’t think he’s been a positive so far this season and I don’t like how he fits this roster
Imagine having another all-star taking over when Trae is out????
Dejounte Fucking Murray
They lost to the hoxpital
1. Swap AJ minutes with Hunter
2. Dejounte plays better when Trae isn’t on the floor. Honestly debating whether this duo is truly a duo, or just two guards doing their own thing.
Hawks 2-0 without Trae this year having beat two of the best teams in the league. Make of that what you will.
Great win. People gonna automatically assume “do we play better without Trae?” but I think the better question is “are we more dynamic with AJ & JJ in the starting lineup than Dre & JC?” and I believe that’s 100% the case.
I might just love AJ Griffin more than I love my bitch. She never scored 24 pts against the 2nd seed in both the Eastern Conference and Western Conference this season.
Nate coached a great game. Not a peep from me tonight.
Murray speaking truth in this post game!
CLAP CLAP!!!
Glad hawks won, got a little close for comfort in the 4th quarter but glad we were able to close it out
How can you not love DJM with this interview? ❤️
Dejounte is a fantastic interviewee, you learn something new everyday
Kirschner would be running to that press room fast af to ask about the speculated report of a player and coach argument at shootaround. 😭😭😭
There are too many different variables for me think that it’s Trae’s absence that made this so different. Is it Trae? Is it Hunter being out? Is it JC being out? Is it cause Bogis back? Is it cause AJ and JJ got significant minutes? Is it cause someone’s actually trying really hard for rebounds? Did Nate do something? I mean I saw him run and wave his arms in the air towards the end. I didn’t know he could do that.
I need to see a lot more before I blame one player. Personally I think a lot has to do with AJ and JJ. Time will tell I guess.
What an amazing game though.
LETS GO HAWKS
Damn DJ so mature in this interview, I wonder why does the cocky shit sometimes in game, he seems like he’s cool af lol
“I’m gonna say it….”
say it
“I don’t care that Trae broke his elbow”
The fact that we won the rebound battle against a very good rebounding team, makes me very happy.
DJ sound like a leader in the postgame interview. Trae doesn’t give off that vibe.
Games like this make me wonder why we ever lose…
Hope you watched this game real hard 11.
Nique is talking about Trae yall. And that’s OK.
Team basketball wins games Dejounte is not washed and AJ is the next coming of Korver
All eyes on Nate’s post game press conference. Surely someone is going to ask
The Atlanta Hawks are now 2-0 in games I do not watch this season
Please start Culver over Hunter
Aj griffin is special. Culver can give you what Hunter brings minus the scoring at a fraction of his price.
Dejounte said Bogi was nervous and Bogi confirmed it himself. It’s ok baby, it’ll flow naturally. It tskes time!
Love Trae (just like we all do) but I really liked how the team looked tonight on offense/defense. 7 Hawks finished in double figures. Murray/Griffin backcourt looked nasty. Need to find a way to get this type of spacing/flow and production with Trae on the court.
Now USA win tomorrow!
Is DJ talkin about Trae when he kept talking about guys being in the gym
DJM post game interview …
“It’s going to be hard for you if you’re representing … whatever team/organization you play for and you don’t trust your teammates. So, with me, I see guys working, I see guys in the gym taking care of their body and everything. You gain my trust with that; you don’t gain my trust with making and missing shots in the games. So it’s good to see everyone step up, and I’m happy for everybody.”
The offensive looked pretty good today with DJ- of course shots falling helped. We know it can look good with Trae as well but not sure what needs to be done to make it more consistent
I LOVE AJ
Trae???
Best bench performance in a minute man. Vit feels like the bench player that doesn’t play much but you love to see the hustle from
AJGCFMB
you decipher it
Been working all night and couldn’t watch a second. Can someone give me a recap?
